The MIT Sociotechnical Systems Research Center invites you to its next spring seminar in the "Conversations on Sociotechnical Systems" series on Wed., April 16, from 4:15-5:30 p.m. in E38-615. Light refreshments will be served.

Many agree that the U.S. health system is unsustainable. However, pressing questions remain about how to prioritize responses, sustain critical investments, and who should be making the decisions. This seminar will explore how members of the ReThink Health alliance work to assure healthier health systems across the United States, as well as the main insights and questions about this sociotechnical challenge.

Bobby Milstein, a visiting scientist in the MIT Sloan School of Management and director of ReThink Health, will present "Rethinking and Redirecting Health System Performance."
